Hole Cleaning Efficiency

Hole Cleaning Efficiency is a performance metric in drilling hydraulics that quantifies the effectiveness of cuttings transport from the wellbore annulus during underbalanced drilling by comparing the actual cuttings removal rate to the ideal or maximum theoretical removal rate under specified flow and rheological conditions.
